Well, I've been crazy busy.......I'm trying to deep clean my house and finish some other projects before this little guy comes! I feel like it's still a good chunk away, but also right around the corner! aaaahhh! My sister Jeanette is also prego and found out she is having twins(I've been teasing her she was prego with twins 'cuz she was a lot sicker than her other two...who knew I can tell the future! crazy!) so, we've been way busy!...........so I'lll try to give an update what we have been doing just before Christmas 'til now!
Well, it snowed like a week before christmas, and man, I've never seen so much snow in sunny St. George. We enjoyed the day 'cuz daddy got a snow day(yay) and we had some fun!
Gracie wasn't quite sure of the snow, but man she sure looked cute......don't ya think! She had this cute little waddle trying to walk in her snow outfit! precious!
I do love that she loves being outside........keeps me active and remember how fun it is to be a little kid discovering!looks like we found daddy's ski goggles.......she wore them all aday and every day all day when I forgot to put them away after that............I think she's pretty cute!Grandpa Dennis came to visit and boy did the girls(and us of course) love him being here. savanna is still talking about him and that we need to go get him.
Grandpa Dennis got them these huge teddy bears, some movies, and for christmas, these big wheels.......they were so excited about everything! Yep, we are still watching christmas movies!These are the dresses I made for the girls for christmas! I even made the head band bows. My friend Ellen Bennett in my ward helped me make them 'cuz let's just say, I had no idea what I was doin! It was not easy, but man they sure turned out good! Of course, we get to church and ten minutes into the meeting savanna spills her watered down juice all over the front of it! such is life of a two year old right?!THis is a picture of us on Christmas Eve, we have a tradition in my family that I'm carrying over into our little family that you open a present on Christmas Eve and it's pajamas, then we all go get in them and wear them for the family pic! I love this tradition. We had a relaxing christmas eve...tried to do the acting out of the First Christmas manger scene....yeah, I need to get more creative........it lasted maybe 3 min. Now, on to the assembling of toys!Yeah, that was so much assembling that I think we were busting up through half of it ready to pee our pants in wondering how we got ourself into this! Next year, we might invest in pre-assembled stuff........worth it!They loved it though! THey got these strollers and cabbage patch babies from mommy and daddy, a kitchen from santa and stuff in their stockings from santa, the big wheels from grandpa dennis, some fun tights and stuff from Grandma/Grandpa Fry(thanks mom), and these cute cute sleeping bags from Grandma Jackie that has their names embroidered on them. The girls loved it!we also went and saw the temple lights and the gals loved it! We were a little slow at making our ginger bread house before christmas so we made it on christmas. The gals loved that as well, enjoying the yummy candy moreso in the mouth than on the house!
well, that's the update, now back to teaching, schooling and cleaning and to get ready for the little guy!
Sheesh! Are we tired!

Looks like you guys had a good Christmas. Good job on the dresses they look really cute. That will be so fun for Jeanette to have twins. She will have her hands full though. Your parents will have a lot of new grandkids by the time they get back.
Wow, you HAVE been extremely busy! How exciting (and busy) for Jeanette to be having twins; I love that you predicted it. I also love that you made your girls' their Christmas dresses; that's always what my mom did and I think it makes them that much more special; they're BEAUTIFUL! Ellen Bennett's done quite a few of my costumes with SGMT and yes, she's completely amazing. I'm so glad your holidays were wonderful.
